Apparatus for Extracorporeal Treatment of Blood and Process of Calculating Set Flow Rates In a Medical Apparatus for Extracorporeal Treatment of Blood
18 Jan 24
A CRRT apparatus comprising a control unit configured to execute a flow-rate setup procedure by receiving a patient prescription comprising clinical prescription parameters, by allowing entry of a set value for a prescribed dialysis dose (Dset) to be delivered, and of a target value for a parameter (nNBL; CpHCO3_pat) indicative of a steady state acid-base balance in the blood of the patient who has to undergo a CRRT blood treatment, and by determining operating parameters calculating a set value of relevant fluid flow rates including one or more of a fluid flow rate (Qcit) through the anticoagulant infusion line, a fluid flow rate (QPBP) through the PBP infusion line, a fluid flow rate (Qrep_pre) through the pre-dilution infusion line, a fluid flow rate (Qrep_post) through the post-dilution infusion line, a fluid flow rate (QHCO3) through the post-dilution bicarbonate infusion line, a fluid flow rate (Qca) through the ion balancing infusion line, a blood fluid flow rate (Qb) through the extracorporeal blood circuit, a fluid flow rate (Qdial) through the dialysis liquid supply line, and a fluid flow rate (Qeff) through the effluent fluid line, wherein calculating the set value of the fluid flow rates is based at least on the set value of the prescribed dialysis dose (Dset) and on the target value for the parameter (nNBL; CpHCO3_pat) indicative of a steady state acid-base balance in the blood.
